My Review For The FriendlyBands SunshineLoom DELUXE Craft Kit!!!

This Deluxe Kit Is Loaded With ALL You Need To Make Tons Of Loom Bracelets, Necklaces/Rings You Name It You Can Make It..


When they put Deluxe they absolutely nailed it! This SunshineLoom Deluxe Craft Kit by FriendlyBands is jam packed with all you need + more. In my review I will not only explain what all comes in the kit but also how much money your saving with it.

When the kit arrived I was surprised at how big the box was! On the outside of the box it explains in depth everything that's included. Which I will give you a list of what was included in my kit!

My Kit Included:


* 1 SunshineLoom & Protector Lid
* 2 FB Hooks (Custom Designed)
* 3,000 FB Rubber Bands (10 Individual Bags which contain 300 Rubber Bands    in each)
* 100 FB Links
* 20 FB Charms
* Instructional Manual
* (FB Stands for FriendlyBands)





The Instruction Manual is loaded! What I mean by loaded is it explains with illustrations of how to make single band, double band, triple band & X band loom bracelets. The instruction manual also explains how to lock your patterns & how to remove your creation or in other words your bracelet or necklace that you made. Also on the front of the instruction manual at the top on the front page they provide a QR-Code. If your phone is not compatible its Ok because FriendlyBands provided their webpage URL where you can find detailed instructions along with many more designs! They also provide the webpage URL for the videos if by chance you can't scan the QR Code. FriendlyBands thought of everything! Now enough about the Amazing instructions that are included lets move on to everything else this kit comes with.




 I would like to begin with discussing the Circular Loom which is super neat! I have only seen the square or rectangular Looms, or the ones you can take apart to make it smaller or bigger. This circular loom is just perfect & really makes it much easier to make necklaces, ankle bracelets, bracelets, rings etc. Some of things I love about this loom is that its numbered and is marked where the bracelet would be considered Small,Med,Large,XL! This makes it easier to know how many rubber bands I will need. The pegs are very strong and well made. There definitely not chintzy and will not snap & break. In the center of the circular loom is 2 spots where you can put the rubber bands your going to use. Now this feature is probably my favorite! Because say I am making a bracelet & I have to stop I can leave the rubber bands in the center, and snap the protective lid on. Also in the center is a spot for your hook to lock in place! I measured the circular loom from one side to the other and it measures 9.25 inches wide. Its pretty big!



Next I will talk about the rubber bands & the charms that are included! You get 10 packs of rubber bands all different colors & individually wrapped. They come in a zip lock bag which is labeled 300. Meaning there is 300 rubber bands in each bag! Also the charms & FB links come in a zip lock bag. There neatly placed in a plastic divider that is flimsy but will work as a storage for keeping the rubber bands. But decided to keep the rubber bands in the zip lock bags to keep them neat & tidy. The FB Links which are also called S links are gray/silver instead of the clear ones that all kits come with. I love that there gray/silver which makes the bracelets look much better then when made with the clear S links. The rubber bands are latex free, which it seems like more and more people are becoming allergic to latex so this is a huge plus! The rubber bands are much stronger than the cheap ones that you end up spending a ton of money on and you barely stretch them & they snap. So I don't have to worry about getting halfway done with a bracelet and the middle rubber band snapping on me. That makes me so mad! I added pictures to show all the charms that are included. Lastly the FB Hooks that are included are much thicker than your average hook. If you don't know what a hook is its basically a crochet hook that is long and at the end has a curved hook to move the rubber bands and pull them under or over rubber bands. This hook fits comfortably in my hands it does not bend on me! And is made of plastic.




Overall I am very happy with this SunshineLoom Deluxe Kit by FriendlyBands. It has everything you need to get started or if your like me & have been making looms bracelets etc for sometime you will love the fact of saving tons of money and getting all you need in this kit. 300 rubber bands usually cost $4-$6 depending on where you go. That means $40.00 minimum for 10 bags of 300 rubber bands. The loom itself would cost $10-$20 again depending on where you go. I am not including the charms & s links. So basically if you were to buy everything in this kit separately your talking roughly $70! Definitely a great deal. I highly recommend this Deluxe Kit by FriendlyBands especially those in the market looking to purchase a kit. This would be great for a Christmas present, Birthday present or even just a gift to be nice. You will be glad you did!

My Review For Elama® R/C Train with Motorized Turning Gears and Remote Control Handset - Ages 5-12!!!

Sounds exactly like a Train when turned on, moves smoothly & keeps the kids occupied for hours..


I was given the opportunity to test/review this R/C Train with Motorized Turning Gears by Elama for FREE, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. When the R/C Train arrived I couldn't wait to put it together for my Niece to play with. Mind you this does say ages 5-12 BUT my Niece who is 3 & my Niece who is 6 absolutely loved it.

When I opened the box I checked to make sure all the contents were included!






I then realized I needed 3 1.5V AA batteries for the R/C Train & 2 1.5V AA Batteries for the remote control handset. So I grabbed those thankfully I had them on hand, because the girls were patiently waiting so they could drive it around. Once I placed the batteries in the R/C Train & the remote control (which you do need screw driver for both of them to get to where the batteries need to go). We began putting the train together by connecting all the changeable building blocks. That part was easy! Thanks to Elama including very detailed instructions which helped me tremendously. Then me & the girls put all the stickers on the gears then we placed them all on the train. Once we finished putting the stickers on the train it was time to drive it. So I turned the train on by hitting the red button located on top of the train! My Niece Hope who is 6 had to drive it first so I handed her the remote control. The remote control has a forward button with a arrow pointing upward, and a reverse button with a downwards arrow on it. She kept saying it sounds just like a train and moves like one too. But not even 2 minutes of her playing my Niece who is 3 started crying she just had to have the remote. She got her way & would not let go of the remote. She played with the train literally a hour & a 1/2!





Overall I am very pleased with this R/C Train by Elama! And so are my Nieces. Not only does it sound like a real train but it also has a light on the front of it which flashes red & green lights. And it kept the kids playing for awhile which gave me time to relax. Definitely a HUGE plus! I highly recommend this to anyone in the market looking to purchase something like this. It really gets kids to interact & it gets them to use their imagination. They will learn building skills, problem solving & critical thinking. Your probably wondering why? By children having to take the building blocks off and change them around but making sure that the gears can all touch and work simultaneously while the train moves forward and backwards. So many different combinations can be made!

My Review For Cinnamon Toothpicks Tooth Pix - 5 Count by CBR Adventures!!!

I Love These Toothpicks!!! They are loaded with strong Cinnamon flavor and you can smell the Cinnamon before even opening...


I love Cinnamon Toothpicks but these take the cake! Usually after eating at a restaurant they have the cinnamon toothpicks. I always end up grabbing a couple because I never knew where to buy them. Obviously I was looking in all the wrong places. Cinnamon is better for your breath unlike peppermint etc for me anyways. I don't know if its just me but when I eat food I have to pick at my teeth and really dislike the plain toothpicks or should I say the original toothpicks. Also I used to bite my nails and like to put a toothpick in my mouth to stop myself from wanting to bite my nails I know gross but just being honest. And trust me playing with a toothpick stopped me from biting and now I have long beautiful nails.



I just couldn't wait for these Cinnamon Toothpix to arrive! When they did arrive I was surprised because you could smell the cinnamon before even opening the tube/tubes. You do in fact get 5 tubes with 18 toothpicks in each. They smell just like the good old fashioned fire ball jawbreakers or big red gum. I opened up one of the tubes and pulled one out! I noticed these toothpicks are the good quality toothpicks. There stronger & not flimsy so when digging to get food out of your teeth they won't snap on you. Unless I am the only one who runs into those issues. There pointy on each end which is nice because you can get in between your teeth much easier. Now when I put it in my mouth I was very happy! It has a very nice cinnamon flavor and I played with it in my mouth for 25 minutes straight. And the flavor was still as strong as it was when I first put it in my mouth. It freshened my breath just like I thought it would.



The tubes that the toothpicks come in are quality made too. There a sturdy plastic with a cute label that says Hotlix Quality Cinnamon Toothpix. With a pair of red lips. Definitely a very unique label. And there twist tops meaning you have to unscrew the top to open the tube. So you don't have to worry about the top coming up and finding toothpicks all around the house. Overall I am very pleased with these Cinnamon Toothpix by CBR Adventures & I definitely recommend them to anyone in the market looking to purchase some cinnamon toothpicks that are in fact cinnamon!!

My Review For The Light Up Football 3 Pack Bundle - Space Pod Flashing Football by CBR Adventures!!!

These light up footballs are the perfect size not to big nor to small & are tons of fun to play with...


These light up footballs are much bigger than I expected. I thought they were going to be tiny but boy was I wrong. There 3 1/2 inches in diameter & 6 inches long. You get 3 light up footballs blue/green/purple!! The light up module is located at the end of each football in the inside of coarse.


There super easy to grip onto because of the ribbed surface! So small children can handle it with no problem or it falling out of there hands! My Niece which is 3 held it with no problems. I didn't have to worry about her putting it in her mouth or choking on anything. There like a rubbery plastic and its thick enough so you don't have to worry about small children trying to chew on it. When she seen the purple one light up she kept saying mine all mine.


You can play catch with them and they fly nicely! Meaning there not to light or to heavy. Be careful they do go pretty far if you throw them hard enough. There super nice at night we played with them in the pool! Having them flash and reflect off the water was really pretty. And we would put them in the water and the whole pool lit with color. Overall were very happy with these light up footballs by Universal Specialties!

My Review For Astronomy with a Home Telescope: The Top 50 Celestial Bodies to Discover in the Night Sky (eBook) by Zephyros Press!!!

I've learned so much from Astronomy with a Home Telescope!! Tons of knowledge in this book..


Zephyros Press takes it to the next level in Astronomy with a Home Telescope! I am new to the Astronomy world & recently I've gotten really interested in whats in the sky. Most times when I am driving I will glance up and see stars & thats all I see. BUT find thats it so pretty & intriguing! In this book Zephyros touches base on all you need to know about the night sky. And explains in depth the top 50 celestial bodies.


I have learned so much from this book! I never knew that the brightest star was in fact the dog star (Sirius). Or maybe I am the only person who didn't know that! In this book I learned that some things we cannot see unless its the right time of the year. Which is exciting because there is always something to look forward to seeing! The sky has so many hidden treasures to view its simply amazing. I also thought everything in the sky was just stars & planets. I now know that there is the Moon, Planets, Stars, Clusters, Nebula, Galaxies & Phenomenons! I learned that the Moon is in fact 230,000 miles from the earth which Zephyros explains in great detail in chapter 2! The Moon is seriously everyone's focus point. Even when looking at it without a telescope, everyone is always like oh my look at the moon. Tonight its a full moon or a half cresent moon. Its always the topic at night time especially in my home. Zephyros also explains each celestial body in depth. From which season to look for it to the quality of say Mars if its a clear view and why its a clear view. He also provides the distance each Celestial body is from us and the directions on how to spot each one. He provides definitions of each & its origins story. I learned that "Mars was the Roman God of war known as Ares to the ancient Greeks". Also each celestials pop culture along with the ranking if its visibal or kinda visible. At the end of this book by Zephyros he provides 2 appendixes! Apendix A which is the Schedule of Solar Elipses & Apendix B which is the Schedule of Lunar Elipses! Also there is a glossary located at the back of the book with definitions for words you may not know meaning of or understand.

Overall I am very pleased with all the knowledge this book has given me! I've learned so much from this book & now have a bigger passion for everything in the night sky. And I am determined to find each Celestial Body! I definitely recommend Astronomy with a Home Telescope by Zephyros Press to anyone in the market looking to learn more about Astronomy & the Celestial Bodies!

My Review For Original Silly Putty Metallic Silver and Gold Combo - 6 Pack by CBR Adventures!!!

Silly Putty Is & Always Will Be My Favorite!! So much fun & you can always find something to make with it!!


Growing up I loved silly putty & to see they have silly putty in other colors besides the original color is just awesome. Silly putty is great for so many different things & there great as party favors.

I love that you can roll the putty into a ball & bounce it! Mind you it will pick up hair & dust/dirt etc. So make sure wherever your bouncing it, the floors clean & a hard surfaced floor. You can use objects and push them into the putty to get the impressions of the said object. For example if you take a small toy car and use the putty to mold it. Which all you have to do is press it around the car then slowly take it off. You will see the impression from the car. You can also use shapes/numbers & letters this would be great to teach little ones. I found that little ones learn much faster while having fun!





This Silly Putty by Crayola is in fact the color of the plastic egg container it comes in. So the metallic gold egg has metallic gold silly putty in it. The Metallic Silver egg has metallic silver silly putty inside. Its super neat & so much fun to play with! And kids absolutely love this stuff. Overall I am very pleased with the Original silly putty metallic silver & gold combo. Never disappoints!

My Review For 21035 70mm Travel Scope by Celestron!!!

This Telescope Is Just Perfect!! Lightweight & Easy To Put Up & Take Down Also Comes With A Very Nice Travel Bag..


This 70mm Travel Scope by Celestron is just perfect for a beginner or even an expert! This Celestron 21035 70mm Travel Scope comes with a very detailed instruction manual. Which I am grateful for as this is my very first Telescope, and if I wouldn't of had instructions with as much detail as Celestron provides, I would have been lost. Because when I seen all the pieces & the tripod I looked dumb founded. I am not even going to lie!



I set up the Tripod which was the easiest part let me tell you. I love that its an extendable tripod meaning it goes from 16"-49", which is awesome. Because I can be sitting down, or on my knees or standing up which ever I want to do. I like having choices and not be restricted which is nice. The locks on the tripod are like latch locks! You pull the latch out on each leg (which there are 3 on each leg) slide the tripod legs to desired height then push the latch back to lock in place.




The optical tube attaches to the tripods mounting platform as its called! On the bottom of the Optical Tube there are mounting brackets which mount to the platform. Once I attached the optical tube, I made sure I tightened all the knobs on the mounting platform to make sure it was locked in place. Mind you if you want to turn it to different angles just turn the knobs which will allow the optical tube to go sideways or up in down. I then installed the diagonal & eyepiece which was very easy & then I attached the finderscope. Aligning the finderscope was pretty easy especially for my first time. Focusing the telescope was fairly easy too! I then played around and I couldn't wait for it to get dark so I could explore the night sky!




In the meantime I explored the instructional manual completely! Its literally like a book of knowledge. From helping me calculate magnification which they explain it so well that it made it so easy to calculate. Celestron also taught me how to determine the size of an object I am looking at! Which really makes me feel smart I never knew how easy it really is to determine the size of something so far. Especially without the ability to actually measure it close up instead of through the telescope. I also learned that to get a clear view of the sky make sure your outside! Meaning looking through the telescope & through a window will not give you a full view of things in the sky. I guess maybe its common sense but for me I never knew that!




Night finally came! I was so excited. I began focusing in on the stars but realized I don't know much about what I am looking at. To me I was just looking at the stars! So I bought some books to help me understand the different constellations which I found there are a ton of celestial bodies in which I never even knew about. Everyone knows the planets but I never knew what people meant by the Big Dipper or Little Dipper or even Betelgeuse. Any who I have some more learning to but thankfully because of Celestron I will be an expert in no time. I also learned how to observe planets! Overall I am very happy with this Travel Scope by Celestron. I know some say the tripod is flimsy or not well made. For me I think its very sturdy and the fact I can take it down so easily is awesome. Its lightweight which makes traveling with it so easy! And if you have never seen the sky through a telescopes view oh my goodness you have no idea what your missing out on. Its a world of its own up there!! Plus Celestron also included Sky X software in which helps start your journey in becoming the next top astronomer! Basically it helps you to explore the sky & to understand what your looking at. I highly recommend this telescope especially to beginners like me! This is definitely a great starting point.
